7a rebuild and Vortech Supercharger Options

[6gBubbs]

Hi,

On the top of the cam cover on the 7AFE there are 2 pipes that go to/from the plenum chamber. I notice that the smaller pipe on your plenum goes toward the intake pipe and disappears but i'm guessing goes onto the BOV and the larger pipe on your cam cover goes to your oil catch can.

However, I'm wondering what you have connected the smaller pipe from the cam cover too and the larger pipe on the plenum too as I couldn't see them to trace.

I'm looking at Supercharging my 7AFE lump so will be using your thread quite a bit for guidance.

Thanks

Rob

On the valve (cam) cover: Large hole (pcv valve) was plumbed to the catch can. Smaller port (which went to intake manifold) was blocked off.

On the intake manifold: Large port (pcv valve) was plumbed to my boost gauge. Smaller port (which went to valve cover) was connected to my blow off valve.

You cant block that small hole on the valve cover!!! No wonder you blow your headgasket! I made an ITB setup on the 7afe did the same thing and blew the valve cover gasket and rings!
